Break Statement

Break Statement

Break statement is used to exit or terminate from loop. It is used in switch statements, and in for, while, or do-while loop. When control is terminated by break statement, immediate code is executed.

Example

<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0
for(i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
if (i==5)
{
break;
}
document.write("The number i = " +i);
document.write("<br />");
}
</script>

Output

The number i = 0
The number i = 1
The number i = 2
The number i = 3
The number i = 4

Note: From output that when i = 5, the execution is terminated from loop.
